I will love you until I die
Not being over dramatic, not telling lies
Pouring my heart, out on the pavement
Waiting for someone, to come and take it
If I get my head straight, will you help me out mate?
I can’t wait to stop pretending I’m fine
If I get my head straight, will you take me back mate?
I want to be better than this
But she always comes up smiling
She’s always on my mind
Tied to me like ribbons
Her hands wrapped up in mine
And she always comes up smiling
She’s always on my mind
I would do anything
To see you smile again
It doesn’t get better than this
Sitting in doing nothing, with you is bliss
Set’s her harrington where I was sat
Reading poetry from living rooms in council flats

The Letter A

Oh my oceanic girl
For you I’d give the world
But I know you’re not waiting for me anymore
Oh my oceanic girl
You deserve the world
And it kills me knowing you’ll be someone else’s soon
But I can’t unbreak your heart
It takes a lot to know when you are beat
If we could start again, I’d make the same mistakes
But I’d kiss you even more
So, take me outside
Do what you like
Punch through the ceiling
To let the rain in
Because we’re on fire
And the world’s on fire
Well It doesn’t have to be
Like this, but for me
She’d do anything just to see me smile again
We were never happier than when we were poor
Dancing round the living room in her favourite dress

Stop The Days
02:54

No-one else could make me sing like this
Tartan clinging to your hips
Underrated
Misunderstood
Lips from1950’s Golden Era Hollywood
Cause you say you don’t need me
And I know that you’re lying
Don’t say I don’t want you
Don’t say I’m not trying
She’s on my mind
But I don’t mind
A million different ways
If you could stop the days
Would you stop the days?
She’s on my mind
But I don’t mind
What anybody says
If I could stop the days
I would stop the days
Sepia toned, but never growing old
Still a sight, in black and white
My summer love you took my hand in glove
In our ocean, you can walk on water if it’s frozen

The Karma Party

What’s the problem?
I know nothing’s going wrong, that’s the problem
So I’ll put it in a song
Oh you’re unhappy?
I guess some things never change
Have you forgotten?
Nothing means anything
I don’t get what you mean?
I don’t get what you want?
I know everything sucks
I know everything
Welcome home son, I know you haven’t been gone long
How you feeling? Any better or all wrong?
That’s not surprising, I guess some things never are
And you’ve forgotten
Nothing means anything

Nothing Stays The Same

Is it better to stay, than to just walk away?
When I feel, you feel that something, just isn’t right?
And it may never be, for you and me
& we’ll walk in the rain through Botanic again
I pull you closer to block out any doubt
And in this very second, I hear her whisper
“I don’t want you and I don’t need you now”
She just tells me, “I don’t want you and I don’t need you now”
Gravity plays as we both lose our way
I kiss you in the kitchen beg you to stay
But you just say you’re tired, we’ve lost our way
You remember the song that made you think of me
All that you know and love and it’s easy to see
She’s pissed off and you just tell me
“I don’t want you and I don’t need you now”
She just whispers “I don’t want you and I don’t need you now”
Because nothing stays the same, I don’t want to change
I don’t want to know if you’ll let me go, I don’t want to know
Is it better to stay, than just walk away?
When I feel you feel that something just isn’t right?
And it may never be

She said that maybe we were born in the wrong time
I said "yes, you're probably right"
Why’d she always settled for silver?
She just shrugged
You're better than that
She's every shimmer that I saw from the windows
She's every second that could never speed up
She's the first party that I've ever been too
The swinging chair in the patio, one joint was never enough
My reflection won't look away
She's the only one that wants to stay
You're still holding my hand, or maybe you're not
If you taught me anything it was something that I forgot

Plastic Flowers
03:20

I was happy to ruin you
Run down from the top screaming
I was overjoyed to watch it collapse
See the little part left of my heart stop beating
Think about you for hours and hours and hours
Wither and die like plastic flowers
Wither and die like plastic
Now nothing reminds me
Because nothing’s the same
I always seem to get older
While you stay the same age
I would hold onto you tightly
As if you knew the way
Write the words into my mouth
Or I’ll have nothing to say
I can still see you whenever I want
You live in my memory
Close my eyes tight to physically feel
You literally engulfing me, making me feel a little less me
By making me feel a little like me
Now nothing reminds me
Because nothing’s the same
I always seem to get older
While you stay the same age
I take them two at a time
Cause it’s what you used to do
& If you move underground
They better bury me too
Wither and die like plastic flowers
Wither and die like plastic
